Another favorite line of his is "Thanks for the warning." He said having this short line in your head can save you from public embarrassment. It helps you out when you don't have anything to say.

Another one that is his all-time favorite is "I don't see how any of that is your business." He said that it's a funny line to say, but at the same time, it might sound rude because it's not something you would expect someone to say in some situations.
